GIS Generator Screen UpdateChanges to Generator
Information Screen as a result of Connecticut
Department of Public Utility Control Decision on
R-O-R Hydropower

• Per Connecticut DPUC Declaratory Ruling (Docket
  No. 04-02-07) for existing facilities (CT
  Class II R-O-R facilities that began operation
  prior to July 1, 2003 primarily) that added new
  capacity after July 1, 2003, only a portion of
  its capacity that is attributable to the
  additional capacity may be eligible for Class I
  status.
• The GIS Generator screen update will facilitate a
  temporary change in a R-O-R facilitys baseline
  nameplate capacity, therefore allowing the unit
  to achieve CT Class I RECs for its additional
  capacity only.
• Although viewable by the GIS Account Holder, the
  new field can only be accessed by the GIS
  Administrator. All data to be entered and/or
  edited shall be reported to the GIS Administrator
  by the Connecticut DPUC only.
• A new Fuel Attribute has been added to the
  Hydroelectric Fuel type to further classify the
  differences in R-O-R hydro facilities. Any R-O-R
  hydro facility that intends to utilize this
  Connecticut ruling should have this new fuel
  attribute selected in its generation registration
  screen.
• Certificates that are created as a result of the
  additional capacity (and additional generation)
  shall contain a similar field in the physical
  Certificate/s so as to display additional
  information regarding the Certificate/s, as well
  as, maintain a history of changes to the affected
  facility as it relates to this ruling.
